I admit that the main reason this movie is so good is because of how literally real it is. When it shows them destroying the shopping mall, that is an actual shopping mall that's being destroyed. I remember learning about it on Wikipedia's list of unusual articles. It's the Dixie Square Mall which was abandoned before finally being demolished in 2012. All the car pileups that appear are real as well. You have to admire a film that goes that far for the sake of a joke.
Apart from that, I really did find myself caring for these characters and couldn't help but be engrossed at how cool they were. I love that this is such an all star cast. It makes me miss Carrie Fisher, but I'm glad to know her for roles other than "Star Wars". Tons of real life musicians appear. It's the awesome music and choreography that's a big part of what makes this movie so good. I love the random explosions. ***1/2
